Farah Mustapha joined the lab as a Doc2AMU PhD student in October. She will work on “Smart Interrogation of Mechanosensing in T cell Activation” with Pierre-Henri Puech and K.Sengupta (CINaM) as co-advisors. Welcome!

Beatriz Chaves has joined the laboratory on October 4th, and comes from Messejana, Brasil. She is a graduate student, and she will work here for two month on a new inhibiting singel-chain antibody against VLA-4 she contributed to design and produce, to quantify its effect in vitro on T lymphocyte adhesion and migration. Welcome!
